This is now called a Local Government Heritage Inventory, or LGHI (previously Municipal Heritage Inventory). The Shire of Roebourne created its first Municipal Heritage Inventory in 1996 1 and undertook a review during 2012 that resulted in this document. Places on the LGHI are not necessarily buildings, but can be sites of former buildings, activities or events, as well as built structures such as mines, wells or roads. As well as heritage places, heritage areas or “precincts” may be included on the LGHI. The Shire of Roebourne LGHI focuses on the post-contact history of the area. As such, some of the heritage places and areas included on it have an Aboriginal historical association. Whilst these places are of significance to the Ngarluma/Yindjibarndi community, there are other Aboriginal sites and places of significance in the area that are not included in the LGHI. A number of these other Aboriginal sites are included in the Register of Aboriginal Sites (The Register) maintained by the Department of Aboriginal Affairs (DAA). The Register contains information about places that are defined as Aboriginal sites under Section 5 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 (AHA), which is the principal Act protecting Aboriginal heritage sites in Western Australia. Under the AHA it is an offence to conceal, damage, destroy or in any way alter an Aboriginal site without prior permission from the Registrar at the Department of Aboriginal Affairs under Section 16 or the Minister for Indigenous Affairs under Section 18. Aboriginal heritage sites are broadly defined under Section 5 of the Act as any place or object of importance and significance to Aboriginal people. This includes sacred, ritual or ceremonial sites, individual artefacts and places with an Aboriginal historical, anthropological, archaeological or ethnographic association. The AHA also protects Aboriginal sites that are considered to be of importance and cultural significance to the State. Other Commonwealth and State Acts that may be relevant to Aboriginal heritage management in WA include the Native Title Act

  • 1. Gina Rinehart 2. Anthony Pratt & Family • 3. Harry Triguboff
    1. Gina Rinehart $14.02billion from Resources Chairman – Hancock Prospecting Residence: Perth Wealth last year: $20.01b Rank last year: 1 A plunging iron ore price has made a big dent in Gina Rinehart’s wealth. But so vast are her mining assets that Rinehart, chairman of Hancock Prospecting, maintains her position as Australia’s richest person in 2015. Work is continuing on her $10billion Roy Hill project in Western Australia, although it has been hit by doubts over its short-term viability given falling commodity prices and safety issues. Rinehart is pressing ahead and expects the first shipment late in 2015. Most of her wealth comes from huge royalty cheques from Rio Tinto, which mines vast swaths of tenements pegged by Rinehart’s late father, Lang Hancock, in the 1950s and 1960s. Rinehart's wealth has been subject to a long running family dispute with a court ruling in May that eldest daughter Bianca should become head of the $5b family trust. 2. Anthony Pratt & Family $10.76billion from manufacturing and investment Executive Chairman – Visy Residence: Melbourne Wealth last year: $7.6billion Rank last year: 2 Anthony Pratt’s bet on a recovering United States economy is paying off. The value of his US-based Pratt Industries has surged this year thanks to an improving manufacturing sector and a lower Australian dollar. Pratt is also executive chairman of box maker and recycling business Visy, based in Melbourne. Visy is Australia’s largest private company by revenue and the biggest Australian-owned employer in the US. Pratt inherited the Visy leadership from his late father Richard in 2009, though the firm’s ownership is shared with sisters Heloise Waislitz and Fiona Geminder.

  • A Review of Archaeology and Rock Art in the Dampier Archipelago
    A review of archaeology and rock art in the Dampier Archipelago A report prepared for the National Trust of Australia (WA) Caroline Bird and Sylvia J. Hallam September 2006 Final draft Forward As this thoughtful and readable survey makes clear, the Burrup Peninsula and adjacent islands merit consideration as an integrated cultural landscape. Instead, the Western Australian government is sacrificing it to proclaimed industrial necessity that could have been located in a less destructive area. Before being systematically recorded, this ancient art province is divided in piecemeal fashion. Consequently, sites that are not destroyed by development become forlorn islands in an industrial complex. Twenty-five years ago the Australian Heritage Commission already had noted the region’s potential for World Heritage nomination. Today, State and corporate authorities lobby to prevent its listing even as a National Heritage place! This is shameful treatment for an area containing perhaps the densest concentration of engraved motifs in the world. The fact that even today individual motifs are estimated vaguely to number between 500,000 and one million reflects the scandalous government failure to sponsor an exhaustive survey before planned industrial expansion. It is best described as officially sanctioned cultural vandalism, impacting upon both Indigenous values and an irreplaceable heritage for all Australians. Instead of assigning conservation priorities, since 1980 more than 1800 massive engraved rocks have been wrenched from their context and sited close to a fertilizer plant. The massive gas complex, its expansion approved, sits less than a kilometre from a unique, deeply weathered engraved panel, certainly one of Australia’s most significant ancient art survivors.

  • 1. Format 1 Lenore Layman Wittenoom
    Journal of Australasian Mining History, Vol. 18, October 2020 Establishing Wittenoom’s asbestos industry: the role of government By LENORE LAYMAN Key Words: Wittenoom, blue asbestos, CSR, northern development, government assistance, Foxall. The establishment of industries in the North-West has long been a knotty problem for both State and Commonwealth Governments. They will not find an industry more ready to hand than this one. J.S. Foxall, WA State Mining Engineer, 1942. he development of Colonial Sugar Refining Company’s crocidolite (blue asbestos) industry at Wittenoom Gorge in the Hamersley Range was heavily T influenced by state and federal governments acting in tandem. It is probable that had these governments not promoted and assisted the venture so strongly, mining might have remained small-scale, undercapitalised and intermittent like other isolated mining ventures in the region at the time. In suggesting this probability, I do not intend any mitigation of the company's responsibility (now re-affirmed by litigation) for the operation of the Wittenoom venture and its disastrous health outcomes; responsibility lay with the ownership and management. Nevertheless, governments’ role, driven by a commitment to northern development, was crucial to Wittenoom's establishment and needs recognition. Studies of Wittenoom’s history since the 1980s have, not surprisingly, concentrated on the failures of the company, the unsatisfactory working conditions and appalling health outcomes, the legal struggles for compensation, and personal stories of suffering and death.1 Examination of governments’ role in the story has been confined to identification of the regulatory failures of the mines inspection regime.2 This article therefore adds a new dimension to Wittenoom’s story.

  • Distribution, Diet and Potential Ecological Impacts of the Introduced Mozambique Mouthbrooder Oreochromis Mossambicus Peters (Pisces: Cichlidae) in Western Australia
    Journal of the Royal Society of Western Australia, 90: 203–214, 2007 Distribution, diet and potential ecological impacts of the introduced Mozambique mouthbrooder Oreochromis mossambicus Peters (Pisces: Cichlidae) in Western Australia M G Maddern1, D L Morgan&HSGill Centre for Fish & Fisheries Research, School of Biological Sciences and Biotechnology, Murdoch University, WA, 6150, Australia 1Current address: School of Animal Biology (M092), Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, Western Australia, 6009, Australia [email protected] Manuscript received June 2007; accepted December 2007 Abstract Oreochromis mossambicus is a highly successful invader of aquatic ecosystems due to its adaptable life history, trophic flexibility, ability to tolerate extreme and often unfavourable environmental conditions and maternal care of offspring. Upon introduction to areas outside of its natural range, these characteristics often give O. mossambicus a competitive advantage over indigenous fishes. Accordingly, O. mossambicus may have deleterious impacts on aquatic communities. Since nonindigenous O. mossambicus populations were first observed in Western Australia in the Gascoyne/Lyons River system (ca 25°S) in 1981, the species has spread north to the Lyndon and Minilya Rivers (ca 23°S), and south to the Chapman River (ca 28°S). There is a high probability of further range expansions of this cichlid in Western Australia due to natural dispersal and human-mediated translocation. Adult and juvenile O. mossambicus consumed primarily detritus and vegetal matter, though juveniles collected from the Gascoyne River were carnivorous. There was no demonstrable dietary overlap between O. mossambicus and the carnivorous and omnivorous sympatric species in the Chapman and Gascoyne Rivers.
